Football is the common name given to whatever form of football is most popular in that country, including Association Football (soccer), Rugby, American Football (NFL), and so on. It so happens that soccer is the football game most popular in Kerala and in many other countries.
Soccer is considered more popular because more people play it around the world. American football is not played by youth groups except in Canada and the US, limiting its appeal in countries outside of North America. In addition soccer is less equipment intensive so the cost to play the game is substantially lower than it is for American Football.

They changed it because of American football (Gridiron) in America, namely the Gridiron Super Bowl that goes on now.AnswerAmerica tried to usurp football with Gridiron (American football). They have failed to do this but gridiron is still popular in the USA. Football continues to grow worldwide as gridiron struggles to get a foot hold worldwide.The Australian football association has changed it's name to football from the nickname soccer so the USA and Canada remains alone in calling football by its nickname soccer.

Because football is its original name, as the ball is kicked by the foot. It is called football around the vast majority of the world, it is only in America where 'American Football' is so popular it is called soccer.
